So, seeing Lmpkio write a dissertation about how he thinks this game is dying, sounds like HE has lost interest in this game, won't come to terms with it, and is trying to speak for the majority when he needs to speak for himself. I remember when there was a very long period when we were waiting on him to post for Bowser, and he came back here to complain about his lack of interest. Dude, if you're not happy, then just leave. Don't try to bring down morale when it is actually you who is not feeling this game.
Your not all wrong. Interest has been going down a little bit, however I mostly wonder where and what the others were doing. And why didn't I leave earlier? Because I play one of the most important characters to the entire RP, and one whom I like to RP. When it comes to leaving RPs, I'm usually very hesistant when it comes to doing so, feeling guilty that I am jeopardizing some plan or letting people down. This doesn't go for all RPs, but say when it comes deeper into it, then that's something else.
And I'm not trying to bring down moral, I'm just taking a look around at the situation at hand, and what I see, is what I see as dying, and it's specially coming from a previous/current GM who has experience with these RPs. If you think I'm seeing things incorrectly, please let me know. As long as someone posts another post, then I'll go ahead and post my thing for Bowser... even though the last post was 8 days/over a week ago. I'm also usually patient, but not THAT patient.
However, if you keep harassing your players to post all the time, then this game might go down that path. You really should have a time period set for when you will remind players to post such as 14 days is usually the magic number. It shouldn't be three times a week because I might just not post just to spite you because it's annoying.
...And then the GMs are like post, post, post - to what?
I'm going to also add in that THIS is very true. I'd be honest, back when I was early and fairly new to RPing, I was kinda like that tbh. Then I realized that if I continue to harass the players, that simply isn't going to get things done quicker. Or rather if that, it'll also make the player more irritated and forced to post. Now I already posted just before Jeno did, so I simply wait for a response coming from someone else before moving on. But to label me still after I recently posted is a little bothersome. Now if you guys were all waiting on me, then I would have to instantly get into playing. But in my case, this isn't that case.
But yeah, just my little response on the matter at hand. Hope it clears things a little up.
